A.) Amino acid is not absorbed by capillaries in the intestinal glucose villi.

Glucose absorption:

  • The absorption of glucose takes place in the intestinal glucose villi by the capillaries present there.
  • Galactose is the same nutrient as glucose with the same formula and structure just differing in some properties.
  • Similarly, glycerol also has similar properties as glucose and is actually formed after glucose synthesis.
  • Thus, we can say that galactose and glycerol are also absorbed by the capillaries in the intestinal glucose villi as these nutrients are synthesized there.
  • Amino acids are also absorbed by the intestine but with the help of another ionic gradient by the process of hydrolysis of ATP molecules and totally in a different part of the intestine.
